is the new egypt headed by the muslim brotherhood president mohammed morsi prepared to be a stabilizing force in the region or is it going to move as its ideology might suggest toward an ever more militant stance bringing its basic peace alignment with israel into question? i think one worrisome fact that was in the excellent reports from your correspondents was the lack of support in israel for a ground invasion. prime minister netanyahu is threatening hamas, if you don't come to the table and agree to stop firing missiles, we will invade you. yet hamas surely can watch television and knows how unpopular that invasion would be with the israeli public which limits netanyahu's options. >> on the other hand there's a question of whether president netanyahu has other things that he can do. and who will come to his side in trying to say to the hamas, you know, you face certain kinds of pressures unless you stop the rocket fire. >> the united states has played its hand certainly in a way that -- that helps netanyahu. the u.s., president obama said personally from the beginning, that the caus
